[QUOTE="Boomin_tahoe, post: 8625566, member: 562180"] Unions around here are getting severely demolished. Kimberly-Clark shut down/closed their doors because they couldn't keep up with competition i.e. Costco, Kleenix, Charmin, etc. KC was union. Perhaps their workers shouldn't have been making 30/hr (yes I saw it on the news and read a few laid off workers crying over toilet paper jobs) causing the shutdown. Since they were on the waterfront, a huge hazard mess they left to clean up. Got ignored. There's a lumber company, Weyerhauser that shut down right around the corner from where I work. They were union. Company bldgs completely band-aided of fixing things, instead of the right/correct way. Now the land is sitting vacant. Only way unions benefit people is if they're not getting a fair liveable wage from their employer. And I'll be dammed if I'm paying union dues....just to keep my job? BS... [/QUOTE]
